Iran and the Bomb | 5 Minute Video
Many countries have nuclear weapons, and many more want them. Only one, though, has its neighbors and the world terrified. That country is Iran. Why is everyone so concerned? Because the Islamic theocracy has repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel, sponsors global terrorism, and would leverage the deterrence effect of a nuclear weapon to advance their anti-Western and anti-American interests. Bret Stephens, foreign affairs columnist for the Wall Street Journal explains the one thing you really need to know in order to understand why we can’t let Iran get the bomb–they may actually use it.

Script:
Why are so many people with so many different perspectives — from the Prime Minister of Israel, to the King of Saudi Arabia — so worried that Iran might build a deliverable nuclear weapon? Or to put it even more simply: why do we have to stop Iran from getting the bomb?
The reason is painfully obvious: They might actually use it.
France has nuclear weapons. So does the United Kingdom. But nobody worries that they will use them. It’s not nuclear weapons that are the problem. It’s who has them and what they might do with them.
“We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah,” said Iranian Leader Ayatollah Khomeini in 1980. “I say let this land burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam remains triumphant in the rest of the world.”
A militant nation that does not fear its own destruction is a sure threat to its enemies. And that threat is taken to a whole new level if the militant nation arms itself with nuclear weapons.
Who are the enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran?
There are three:
The first enemy of Iran is the United States of America.
A common slogan chanted by Iranians at public rallies is “Death to America.” But it’s not just a slogan. Iran has been committing actual acts of war against what it calls “The Great Satan” for over three decades.
There was Iran’s seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979, the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 American servicemen, and the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed another 19 Americans — not to mention the War in Iraq, during which Iran did little to disguise the fact that it supplied anti-American militias with sophisticated, armor-piercing munitions responsible for the maiming and death of hundreds of U.S. soldiers.
A nuclear Iran could greatly expand its efforts to harm American interests, secure in the knowledge that its possession of nuclear weapons would make any military retaliation extremely unlikely.
And over time, and not much time, a nuclear Iran could develop the sort of intercontinental ballistic missiles that would bring American and European cities within range of its weapons.
A second enemy of Iran, which is a Shiite Muslim nation, are the Sunni Muslim nations of the Middle East. An Iranian bomb would instantly spark a nuclear arms race in the region as Arab states — nearly all of which have majority Sunni populations — move to defend themselves against aggression from Iran.

Sunni has nothing against to do with iran we are all the same. U bring the difference between us
Israel terrifies me much more than Iran, which has invaded Iran since the 79 revolutions.
Our God will protect Israel.
The Chinese Communist Party is the Great Satan.
One of only a couple of videos from PragerU that is actually sound.
Iran from the bomb.
Pure propoganda, long live iran, never forget the USS LIBERTY
And you were told that Islam is a religion of peace!
On the YouTube video Egypt: Bishoy Chooses Bravery, YouTube has deleted the comments section by having their comments turned off. They are now practicing censorship just as bad as the Left that they accuse of. The reason is that after I posted many comments on their YouTube videos defending Iran and North Korea, they turned off the comments on this YouTube video Egypt: Bishoy Chooses Bravery. Is it a coincidence? I don't think so. And yet for all their complaints about censorship, they have now become the censors themselves.
How about the fact that the United States has 5,113 or 10,700 nuclear or atomic bombs. Iran has none or 0 nuclear weapons. Which country is a warmongering country? The United States. The United States is The Great Satan!
Iran only wants peaceful nuclear energy. They used conventional weapons like ICBM missiles though. They are not into nuclear weapons.
I generally admit your viewpoint. But Iranian people are not with the authority. People say authority of Iran (so called Islamic republic) is the real enemy for Iranian people . These days (2022) people are involved in a serious movement , we call it revolution (1401). Be voice of Iranian people.
"the problem with the middle east is Islam"
I respect your opinion I hope you respect mine
The problem with the west is Jews
This actually kind of makes PragerU look like CNN and other woke news outlets. Woke news outlets like to take things that actually aren't so bad and make them look terrifying, like climate change. This video is kind of like that. While Iran is a terrible country that clearly wants to destroy America and is pretty dangerous, it's pretty obvious that their chances of destroying us are incredibly small. But this video makes it seem like they could kill us any moment now, just how like libs pretend that climate change will kill us in just a matter of years.
USA : the only nation used nukes !
2:19 Were they killed in US or Middle East and if the answer is ME then what are they doing over there? Blatant lies and propaganda
Zionist propaganda
It's 2022, Where's the BOMB which you said Iran has Meanwhile Israel is attacking Press buildings and journalists LMAO
just sell 'em blanks
For me, the only "rabid dog" and "cancerous tumor that needs to be cut out" is the government of the Ayatollahs of Iran and all its "stinky and nauseating" acolytes.
While I also do not trust Sunni nations that declare themselves enemies, in fact, I do not trust any Muslim majority nation that does not have a non-denominational or secular regime.
I would only support the USA and Israel which, in truth, are true representative democracies.
Thanks PragerU for your valuable information
We dont have to fear america ever using atom bomb , Becuase they already have used it
Israel has nuclear weapons and they aren't allowed to. Either way nuclear weapons are bad for everyone.
I am super scared if Iran 🇮🇷 makes the nucler bomb 💣 since I live in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I am rly scared or die :/
No it's the nuclear weapons.
Is better to be an infidel than an imbecile
Common sense, evil people (like hamas, hezbollah & progressives) do evil things. That's why the left can't understand it…..because they have no common sense.
You know what I did when a country gets the bomb?
I-ran!
Get it?
Why so serious?
I'll see myself out!
Literally everyone around Iran hates them bro…
"committing ACTUAL ACTS OF WAR for the PAST THREE DECADES"
And yet no one considers cultural changes just in THE PAST SIX DECADES to be suspect of CAUSALITY!
The Age of Insanity, boys and girls!
Now you know what it means!
When was the last time Iran invaded anyone?
The problem is not the bomb it's who owns the bomb ie: the only ethnostate in the middle east that has waged wars against egypt, syrian jordan, palastine and lebenon
Iran is that guy in a strategy game who is better at winning debates in the Newspaper than actually conquering any cities.
Am I mistaking or did Obama send truck fulls of American tax dollars to Iran for just such research ? When he was in office ?
Watch this on Rumble, where you are actually allowed to have alternative views. Better yet, go to PragerU.com and watch it there…
3:34 BASED
I say we preemptively eliminate the threat and turn the place into a giant GLASS PARKING LOT. 🚀🚀🚀🚀
I love PragerU but I hate its pro-Juuish propaganda, then again Dennis Prager is a Juu and the loyalty and allegiance will always be with his fellow Juus and Israel, even if a Juu was borned and has always lived in a certain nation he'll be a Juu first and a citizen of his nation second and his loyalty and allegiance will always remain with Israhell.
It’s not a matter of it will happen or not. It is a matter of when. This entire Earth will be judged very soon.
Repent now of sin now and ask Jesus Christ to save you from the second death.
